Some people stay in your mind not only for what they do but also for the impact they leave behind. Dear Defne İncekara is one of those people for me. Everyone who attended our AI Workshop at İKG shared one thing in common: they now look at AI from a completely different perspective. I value Defne's knowledge as much as her energy, sincerity and willingness to share. So glad you exist, Defne.

A highly productive training with practical, interactive content that didn't stay theoretical. It enabled our team to imagine how to use AI beyond a simple chatbot and how to digitize their own business processes with AI agents.

After the training I built 4 different applications with AI development tools and integrated AI into our organization's daily operations.

We quickly learned which AI platform to use in which situation. We launched our pilot AI initiatives and saw significant improvements in our business processes.

I've been actively using AI for 2 years, yet the training gave me a completely new perspective. We established standardization in the team — accuracy increased along with speed.

We are now able to make well-targeted tool selections in our software development processes. We achieved noticeable improvements in project management and documentation.

It moved us from seeing AI as just ChatGPT usage to a much broader and more strategic perspective. It created a strong awareness across the team.

It elevated the awareness we already thought we had to a much higher level. Our integration process gained speed.

Thanks to the trainings I attended, one day became worth a month for me; once I truly learned what I thought I knew, I realized I didn't actually know it.

As someone who actively uses AI, I didn't know what to expect from the training. Defne's training opened up dimensions of AI I had never seen.

She explained very clearly how we can use AI tools according to our needs. It was an enormously valuable training.

In my busy work life, she taught me how to integrate AI into my real work. It doubled my speed in the real estate sector.

I was already using Claude and ChatGPT in my daily life. But today's training was a deeper and more hands-on session. We dove into areas I knew nothing about. My horizons expanded and I got to experience new fields. Now I'll plan and work on these much more deeply in the coming period.

I didn't notice how the day passed from morning to evening. I only knew ChatGPT. Now, with clearer knowledge, knowing how to act and which tools to subscribe to, I feel I'll move forward on this path with much more confidence.

I thought I was using AI, but with this training I realized I actually knew very little; now I've truly started to learn.

From ChatGPT to AI agents, the doors to the world of AI opened with a completely different perspective. With her experience and energy, she made us all say 'The future is here!'

The best AI training I've had in recent times.

We discussed how to design the future of AI and the textile industry together. Eight rich, full hours.

Every minute was packed; I haven't attended such a content-rich training in a long time.

A mind-opening talk on AI literacy, current applications and future projections. We didn't notice how time flew.

Our view of AI shifted from an operational tool to a strategic priority. Ownership emerged at the executive level and cross-team collaboration increased. From technology to HR, from procurement to brand, everyone is writing prompts, producing content and automating their processes. The most visible change is in the requests. The questions coming in are now far more business-focused.
